Boris Johnson has again apologised after the long-awaited report by Sue Gray into rule-breaking parties in and around Downing Street during the pandemic.
Sue Gray found that many of the events "should not have been allowed to happen" and that staff who raised concerns were not treated with respect.
The 37-page document includes details of wine spilled down walls, vomiting, and parties lasting until 4am
Senior leadership at Downing St must bear responsibility for this culture, Gray says.
Johnson has argued that he believed the gatherings he attended had been work events.
Labour's Keir Starmer says the Gray report shows how No 10 treated the sacrifices of the public with contempt.
WhatsApp messages reveal Martin Reynolds, a former top aide to the PM, was warned of "comms risks" around parties.
He also suggested in a different message that officials had "got away with" a large event in the No 10 garden on 20 May.
